Take note of Amsterdam’s jazz hall

The Bimhuis places Amsterdam firmly on the map as a leading European jazz city. Its roots date back to the early ’70s, when local musos founded a new home for the local improv jazz scene in a former furniture salesroom. These days it shares a more bespoke performance space with the Muziekgebouw aan ‘t IJ, looking out over the River IJ. With 150 shows per year, it’s not only the home of Dutch jazz, but also a port of call for the world’s best players.
